Our goal for the urban design scheme of Eliot is to reincarnate the function, grain, and scale of the neighborhood spaces based off of the physical and political historic context that scars the landscape. We aim to prevent the hospital from continued inefficient institutional expansion while also reconnecting the neighborhood and hospital populations through an engaging axial landscape. A brightly designated historic trail reconnects important pieces of the neighborhood fabric, supported by adjacent programmatic initiatives requested by community members. These interventions reinforce and facilitate broader local connections by strengthening the Williams Avenue commercial corridor and linking it to Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard by way of the pedestrian focused NE Knott Street cultural and community centers plaza.
